Queen's Diamond Jubilee: Royal Quiz, Week 13

In the run up to the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee, test your knowledge with our
weekly Royal quiz, compiled by Daily Telegraph librarian Gavin Fuller.

7:00AM BST 30 Apr 2012

This week, the Royal Quiz covers the late 1970s and early 1980s – dangerous years for figures as prominent as the Queen. They were marked by a series of shocking incidents, for example in 1981, when teenager Marcus Sarjeant fired six blank cartridges at the Queen in a bid to become 'the most famous teenager in the world'.

Attempts to take the lives of Ronald Reagan and the Pope, John Paul II, had occurred the same year. The Queen herself had been visiting the Shetland Islands to open a new oil terminal earlier in 1981, when a small bomb explored on the premises. No one was injured, but the intention behind the attack was chilling.

Brighter moments to cheer the Royal Family included Prince Charles's engagement to Lady Diana Spencer, and their wedding in July 1981. The births of Zara Phillips in 1981 and Prince William in 1982 were also part of the focus of a great lift in positive feeling towards the Royal Family, which now had more members than any other time since Queen Victoria was on the throne.

This week’s 10 questions, compiled by Gavin Fuller, the Daily Telegraph’s librarian and Mastermind’s youngest ever champion, tests your knowledge of this period of the Queen's reign.
